Hi,
I am hoping that rsync may be able to improve an existing network backup I've
got:
tar czf - --files-from $FILE_LIST | ssh -i $AUTH -l $USER $HOST "cat >
${DEST}/${SOURCE}_${FILE}.tgz"
You can see that this backup uses tar to create a single compressed archive and
store it on a remote host using ssh. It occurred to me that it might be
possible to use rsync. I'm hoping rsync could be told to capture STDIN and
treat it as a single file that it would then sync with the named file at the
remote end. Perhaps something like this:
tar czf - --files-from $FILE_LIST | rsync - $HOST:${BACKUP_FILE}
I've been unable to find any reference to rsync being used in this fashion. Can
anyone tell me whether this is possible today, and if not whether it might be
considered for a future version?
Cheers,
Mark
